Buddhist Amulet Coin Appraisal

Thai Buddhist Amulet Coin Featuring Phra That Chedi

This is an oval-shaped Thai Buddhist commemorative amulet coin, typically cast in a copper-based alloy such as brass or tomback. The medal features a prominent central relief of a 'Phra That' or reliquary stupa, characterized by high-relief architectural details including window niches and a tiered spire. Surrounding the upper perimeter is a Thai inscription indicating its origin, likely associated with a specific temple (Wat) in northern Thailand, possibly Chiang Mai, given the pagoda's style. Below the stupa is a rectangular grid containing sacred 'Yant' (Yantra) scripts or mystical numerology diagrams intended for spiritual protection and prosperity. The item displays a natural aged patina with visible surface oxidation and 'skin' texture typical of struck metal from the late 20th century (circa 1970s-1990s). The edges show minor wear and softened details from handling, though the casting remains crisp. A small suspension loop or 'ear' is present at the top, though partially cropped in the frame. The craftsmanship reflects traditional Thai minting techniques used for religious pendants produced in limited batches for temple supporters and practitioners of the Buddhist faith.
